but moving forward, i think -- and i'm going to steal something that kurt volker told me a couple of months ago that i thought was really important, when president obama made his nine-day tour through asia, he gave a very important speech in australia and it really encapsulated our strategy toward the asia-pacific region. kurt said if you just took out the word asia in that strategy and put europe in that strategy, that would be a really forward looking strategy for the transatlantic relationship that had a securities component, an economic component, a cultural, social, a futuristic look. i would argue it's time for us to create a 21st century transatlantic european strategy. we're a bit trapped in some very old talking points that no longer match the reality on the ground. it's different now. and in fact in a bipartisan way we're guilty of this. we need to reflect the new and challenging circumstances that are facing europe. but ultimately even if we have the most perfect strategy, we have to make the decision whether this relationship, this alliance, is worth the time and the ener
